The Frigate Escape Bay is a unique cargo bay, introduced in the March 2020 update<ref>[https://www.eveonline.com/article/q6z2qy/patch-notes-for-march-2020-release Patch Notes for March 2020 Release]</ref> and present on all battleships. It enables a battleship to hold one fully assembled and fitted Tech 1, Pirate or Empire Faction, [[Frigates#Assault Frigates|Assault]], [[Electronic Attack Ship|Electronic Attack]], or [[Logistics Frigate|Logistics]] [[Frigate]].
The Frigate Escape Bay is a unique cargo bay, introduced in the March 2020 update<ref>[https://www.eveonline.com/article/q6z2qy/patch-notes-for-march-2020-release Patch Notes for March 2020 Release]</ref> and present on all battleships. It enables a battleship to hold one fully assembled and fitted frigate or some classes of frigate.
 
Ship types that fit a Frigate escape bay are:
* [[Frigate]]
* [[Frigates#Assault Frigates|Assault Frigate]]
* [[Frigates#Electronic Attack Ships|Electronic Attack Ship]]
* [[Frigates#Logistics Frigates|Logistics Frigate]]
 
[[Shuttles]], [[Corvettes]], [[Frigates#Expedition Frigates|Expedition Frigates]], [[Frigates#Interceptors|Interceptors]], [[Covert Ops]] and [[Stealth Bombers]] are not fit despite they are frigate sized or even smaller. [[Astero]] is classified as a "Frigate" and thus the only frigate can fit Covert Ops Cloaking Device that can put into a Frigate escape bay.


If a frigate is inside the bay when the battleship is destroyed, the pilot will be ejected ''in the frigate'' instead of their capsule. Ejecting from a battleship which has a frigate in its escape bay will also eject the pilot into space in that frigate, and attempting to board an unpiloted battleship while in a frigate will load that frigate into the battleship's escape bay (if it is empty).
